Two pilots were killed when a Greek air force plane crashed at an annual air show north of Athens on Saturday. The plane, a twin-seat Phantom F4 jet, was performing a low-altitude maneuver during the event, known as Athens Flying Week. A fire broke out after the crash, hampering rescue efforts and forcing an evacuation order in the surrounding area. No spectators were injured, but 85 firefighters and 11 water-dropping planes and helicopters were deployed to contain the blaze.

same event.
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
